For fans of The Commons, the esteemed Belgo-European craft brewery has always had one problem: the taproom's limited hours, restricted mostly to afternoons and early evenings from Thursday to Sunday.

As it happens, there could soon be a better way to drink an Urban Farmhouse ale straight from the source, seven days a week.

According to a recent liquor license application (posted just after yesterday's roundup), The Commons brewer Michael Wright could be opening another brewery location in (or moving the current one to) a 10,000-square-foot former tile and flooring warehouse at 628-630 S.E. Belmont St.

And in better news (hopefully), according to the application, a tasting area with room for about 50 people will stay open from midday to late, daily.

I've reached out to The Commons brewer Michael Wright for more details about the new project.

Update: Apparently, this isn't the first word on a potential new Commons outpost. According to the New School blog, Wright was previously looking at another place on Southeast Eighth Avenue. More as we hear it.
